The Lord of the Rings

Ravensburger is a solid go-to when it comes to puzzles. For Middle-Earth fans, the company has three The Lord of the Rings puzzles available. The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. I’m partial to the latter. All three feature stunning collages of the films and the characters. Get a chuckle from the taglines for each puzzle. For example, The Fellowship puzzle’s tagline is, “You shall not pass — until you piece together our “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” puzzle!”

Star Wars

For fans of the galaxy far, far away, Ravensburger has 12 puzzles to choose from. I recently got my hands on two puzzles from their new Hyperspace Collection and they are outstanding. The titles from the collection are Star Wars™ The Hyperspace Collection: Ahsoka, Star Wars™ The Hyperspace Collection: The Phantom Menaceand Star Wars™ The Hyperspace Collection: The Mandalorian. I loved putting together Mando’s puzzle. There’s a beautiful elegance to the design and striking color palette. And besides, who can resist seeing Grogu come to life?

There are a plethora of Star Trek puzzles out there. My favorite right now is the Star Trek: The Next Generation U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701-D Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle from the official Star Trek shop. I love the simplicity of the design which lends to the dramatic visual. But what makes this wooden puzzle really stand out are the unique puzzle pieces including the Vulcan Salute, Enterprise, and Delta insignia.
